More Description Before he broke the all-time records for radio play previously held by The Beatles and Frank Sinatra with his 2001 single How Wonderful You Are, Gordon Haskell had worked behind the scenes with many musical greats. He became the friend of milkmen and movie stars, policemen and prostitutes, crackpots and gun-toting mafia men. Even after a huge deal for his lifetime's songwriting work, Haskell has been left owing money to the moguls who steered him to the top, and he is now unable to make another record without every penny going to those who turned his windfall into a debt. The Road to Harry's Bar is a tribute to all that was once great in the music business, but it is also a candid account of the double-dealing and sacrifice Gordon encountered en route to the top.
